Abstract:
Objective To investigate primipara' s fatigue status during pregnancy and the major related factors, provide basis for relevant intervention measures. Methods A total of 150 primiparas from a top-notched hospital in Beijing were investigated by using General Fatigue Self-assessment Scale (FSAS) ,Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) and Pregnancy Pressure Scale (PPS). Results Primipara's fatigue status was at a mild level, and could be relieved by sleep or rest; Age, gestational age and weight gain during pregnancy had different degrees of relevance with the score of FSAS( P <0. 05 ) ; Primipara' s fatigue was negatively relate to the general self-efficacy ( P <0. 05 ) ; Primipara' s fatigue was positively relate to positive coping,pregnancy pressure(P <0. 05 ). Conclusions The health education and pregnancy counseling for the primipara should be strengthened. And we should pay attention to primipara with fast weight gain, old gestational age and pregnancy complications. Further more, primipara should be encouraged to adopt positive coping, cultivate self-efficacy and reduce pregnancy stress by using early period intervention, which could help to reduce fatigue during pregnancy.
